I was skeptical about My 5th grader receiving Tutoring online, One on One Tutoring I've learned works a lot better than a Classroom setting. My daughter who hated Math now actually wants more lessons with her tutor.

Why students love Learner.
Chelsea from Learner helped me to get a full ride to Duke University.
“Chelsea from Learner was the perfect match for me. She customized the training so that it would push me hard - but not too hard where I would get frustrated. I worked with Chelsea for years because she took a genuine interest in me and my future.”
"My experience with Ben has been stellar. He helped me raise my grade in Pre-Calculus from a C to an A. I used to feel behind, but now I feel like I have an edge and I'm more likely to raise my hand in class."
"When I first started working with Alan, I told him I would never be good at math. I barely passed my first two years of high school math and I needed one more hard math class to graduate. Alan believed in me and worked with me on the basics. Little by little, he built up my confidence to the point where I realized I am good at math and I did well in the class."

How to Find the Right Online Tutor
Finding the best online tutor comes down to finding someone compatible with a student's personality and academic goals. While background, education, and experience are all factors you should consider, you must also keep compatibility in mind.
Ensure your instructor has worked with students in the student's age range and grade level in your chosen subject. For example, if you need a math tutor for a middle schooler, the tutor should have taught or tutored middle school math before. This way, you can maximize the chance that your tutor will be able to build a curriculum and lesson plans around your child's needs.
You also want to ensure that the way the tutor teaches matches how your child learns. Every tutor has a unique tutoring philosophy. Some tutors think it's best to be strict and firm, while others like to give gentle feedback and support. Consider what type of tutoring will best lead your child to academic success.
Finally, ensure you can afford a tutor's services long-term. Tutors often base their hourly rates on their education, certifications, and experience. A tutor could check all of your boxes, but if hiring them is not financially sustainable for you, this relationship will not work out in the long run. Consider how much you can afford to spend on monthly private tutoring services. Then, determine how frequently you plan to meet with your tutor and how long you need their services.
Top Benefits of Working With a Private Online Tutor
One-on-One Assistance
One of the best things about hiring a private online tutor is that you receive lesson plans tailored to a student's needs and goals. A private tutor can bypass the content you already know and use tutoring sessions to focus on the areas where a student needs extra help. The best tutors will also go the extra mile to make sure that practice questions and essay topics include a student's hobbies and interests.
Improved Confidence
Confidence and academic success go hand in hand. The more sure of themselves a student is in a subject, the more likely it is that they will think harder on test questions and look at challenging assignments from different angles. While teachers do their best, giving each student the positive reinforcement and feedback they need to feel confident can be difficult.
Better Habits
If a student is struggling with a school subject or preparing for a standardized test, it's easy to think they don't understand the material. While that's sometimes the case, it isn't always. Sometimes students receive bad grades and test scores because of poor study habits. Private tutors can help students identify their bad habits and demonstrate how to organize better, meet deadlines, and stop putting things off.
Fewer Distractions
Classrooms can be chaotic environments, especially for students prone to getting distracted. When a student has a private tutor, all the noise and other distractions are removed, letting the student focus on the task at hand. A better work environment makes studying, understanding, and remembering what a student has learned easier.
Match Your Pace
Often, teachers only have a certain number of weeks to dedicate to a topic. While some students will be fine keeping up with the content, others may slowly fall behind. This is why private tutoring sessions perfectly supplement classroom learning. Students can use those sessions to focus on everything they were supposed to learn in a lesson but have yet to fully grasp.
What to Look for in an Online Tutor
There are many factors you must keep in mind when searching for an online tutor. While education and experience are essential, so is the instructor's personality. Here are some important qualities to look for in an online tutor:
Patient
If a student needs a tutor, it's most likely because they struggle in a particular school subject. This means that learning that subject might be challenging, and it may take time before a student fully grasps a concept or skill. A private tutor needs to be patient and approach every situation with a smile and some gentle encouragement.
Motivating
It's not enough for a tutor to be a subject matter expert; they must also be in their line of work for the right reasons. The more invested a tutor is in helping their student reach their goals, the more likely it is that they will make a significant impact.
Adaptable
Tutoring is not a one-size-fits-all approach. A calculus lesson plan created for one student may not work for another. Tutors need to be prepared to adapt lesson plans to meet the needs of each of their students. Tutors may even have to change their lesson plans during a session if an approach isn't helpful.
Enthusiastic
It takes work to have enthusiasm every day for school. So, often the last thing a student wants to do is continue learning after school in their one-hour tutoring session. It's up to the tutor to help engage their students with fun and exciting lesson plans. The more interested a student is in their lesson plan, the more likely they are to comprehend and retain the content of that lesson.
Communicative
Communication is critical in tutoring in more ways than one. Tutors need to be able to break down complex mathematical equations and intricate historical events for students in a way that's easy to understand and remember. Tutors must also keep the parents and families of their students up to date on their academic progress, successes, and setbacks.
Empathetic
Struggling with any subject, from science to English, can be challenging. It can make students feel bad about themselves and lose confidence, affecting other parts of their lives. Excellent tutors must be able to get through to their students, as working through emotional hurdles can also help students overcome their academic challenges.
Humble
When it comes to a tutor-student relationship, it should always be about the student. Hearing about a tutor's successes and accomplishments can inspire students but also take away from their learning.
Ambitious
The more ambitious a tutor is with their student's goals, the more likely a student is to aim high and achieve great things. So that students can reach their full academic potential, a tutor must be willing to push them out of their comfort zones from time to time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is online tutoring different from in-person tutoring?
Unlike in-person tutoring, which is typically done at a center or in someone's home, online tutoring is done virtually. Online tutoring sessions are held in a state-of-the-art virtual classroom with tools like an interactive whiteboard to mimic the feeling of being in person.
What are the qualifications of your online tutors?
Learner has strict requirements that applicants must meet in order to join our tutor network. Every tutor must have a bachelor's degree from a four-year university and several years of teaching experience under their belt. Only 5% of applicants are accepted into our network.
Do we select our online tutor ourselves?
One of the benefits of working with Learner is that we do the legwork of matching each student with a suitable tutor from our network. If the student or parents are not happy with the pairing, we will gladly find them a tutor who is a better fit for their needs.
What does an online tutor do?
An online tutor is an instructor who provides personalized educational assistance to students. They can help students with math, science, history, English language arts, and standardized test prep.

What if the online tutor we are connected with is not a good match?
If you are unhappy with the online tutor you are paired with, that's not a problem. Contact your matching specialist and explain what you didn't like about the tutoring experience. Then, the matching specialist will pair you with someone more suited to your student's needs.

After your student has taken the short test, we will find them a tutor within 72 hours. Once we pair you with a tutor, you can book your first session for whenever works best with your schedule.
How does online tutoring work?
Online tutoring sessions with Learner are held in a virtual classroom. Using the interactive whiteboard, students and tutors can collaborate on math problems, science equations, learning new languages, and more.

Can working with an online tutor improve my child's academic performance?
Most of our students begin to see improvements in grades, test scores, and overall academic performance within a few weeks of their first session. Progress depends on the student and the chosen tutoring package, but our tutors try to help their students reach their academic goals by giving them individualized lessons, feedback, and encouragement.
How much does an online tutor cost?
Our tutoring rates vary based on the tutor's experience and level of education, as well as the tutoring package that the student chooses. Please reach out to our consultation team so you can figure out a price appropriate for your budget.

The steps to becoming an online tutor will depend on which platform you apply for. Generally speaking, you must first choose your subject area and obtain the necessary qualifications to teach it. Most tutoring platforms also require previous teaching experience.
